Summary/Abstract: Can the Minnesota model and the 12-step program be an effective intervention model based on the religious and spiritual approach to reduce substance and alcohol consumption but also suicidal ideation?Can these programs also lead to increased quality of life and unconditional self-acceptance by study participants? In this study, we aimed to highlight the role of the Minnesota Model and the 12-Step Program used in reducing stress, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, increasing quality of life, and unconditional acceptance of oneself by participants in Alcoholics Anonymous groups in Constanta County.Another goal we set out was to compare the results obtained by the participants at the end of these programs, but also by comparing their results with the results obtained by the participants who make up a control group. Through this study, we aim to identify the most important predictors and include them in effective models for increasing the quality of life of alcohol addicts, as well as highlighting a relationship between alcohol dependence and suicidal ideation, before and after these two programs.
